Might Guy silently counted the seconds in his heart and sprinted quickly, moving in an arc as he charged towards Nagato.
"Asakujaku!"
In his run, Might Guy gathered his strength into his fists and began to punch rapidly.
Due to the extreme speed of the punches, the friction between his fists and the air generated flames, which rushed towards Nagato along with the impact force of the punches.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Nagato quickly formed hand seals to create a thick earth wall in front of him.
Rumble!!
A large number of flames hit the earth wall, causing an explosion. The earth wall was shattered but still stood in front of Nagato.
Swoosh!
"Four, three." Might Guy silently counted the time, leaping down from above the earth wall to strike at Nagato.
"Two, one."
When Might Guy counted to one in his heart, he reached a position only one meter from Nagato.
"Almighty Push!"
Nagato's Rinnegan suddenly trembled, and a powerful repulsive force erupted again centered around Nagato.
Might Guy felt an irresistible invisible force preventing his advance.
Bam!!
Might Guy smashed through the earth flow wall, his body flying backward and crashing hard onto the ground.
"It's really ten seconds." With this test, Might Guy was completely certain that Nagato's Almighty Push had a ten-second cooldown.
"Ten, nine..."
Might Guy silently counted the time again as he charged out, using Asakujaku once more.
The large number of fireballs and shock waves generated by his rapid punches rushed towards Nagato as before.
Nagato saw Might Guy like this and knew that Might Guy had already taken the bait, deceived by his false information.
Nagato did not change his actions and, as before, used hand seals to perform Earth Release Ninjutsu to create a thick earth wall.
This time, the result of the collision between the defensive ninjutsu and the attack taijutsu was no different; the earth wall successfully blocked all the attacks of Asakujaku.
"What's going on with Guy, why is he wasting energy using this technique?" Asuma on the spectator stand was very puzzled.
Since the previous clash had already proven that Asakujaku couldn't break Nagato's defensive ninjutsu, why not save energy and use Asakujaku, and instead use the more powerful Hirudora or Golden Horizon?
Although the latter requires more energy, at least it can break through the opponent's defensive ninjutsu. The former consumes less but cannot break through defensive ninjutsu, which is a futile effort.
"This is the moment of truth." Kakashi looked solemnly at the charging Might Guy.
The observant Kakashi also noticed that the interval at which Nagato released the Almighty Push was always the same.
Hence, he roughly guessed Might Guy's plan.
"Gohyo!"
Might Guy gathered all his strength in his legs, and the massive chakra running wildly inside his body suddenly erupted. Unlike last time, he didn't step onto the earth wall and then jump down, but sprinted straight forward, ignoring the earth wall.
Boom!!
The earth wall was directly smashed through with a big hole by Might Guy, who then, without slowing down, quickly rushed towards Nagato.
Might Guy's attack plan was simple; since ordinary attacks couldn't reach Nagato within ten seconds, he used Gohyo again to speed up and create a time difference.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Faced with Might Guy breaking through the wall and attacking, Nagato remained calm and formed a seal to create a shadow clone.
"Four, three, it worked!"
Seeing Nagato so close, Might Guy believed he had already won.
At this distance, even if Nagato used other offensive ninjutsu, Might Guy could withstand the ninjutsu and land a punch on Nagato.
Nagato's ninjutsu could injure him, but it couldn't incapacitate him, while Might Guy's punch had a high probability of knocking Nagato down directly.
"Almighty Push!"
The sudden powerful repulsive force stopped Might Guy's fist five centimeters from Nagato's chest.
Might Guy looked at Nagato in disbelief. He had not stopped counting silently, and logically, Nagato's Almighty Push should have had two seconds of cooldown left.
"Deceived." Might Guy quickly thought of the reason.
The Almighty Push might have a cooldown, but it was definitely not ten seconds, and maybe not even eight seconds.
Previously, Nagato using the Almighty Push every ten seconds was to deliver false information to him.
Bam!!
Under the effect of the repulsive force, Might Guy was knocked back just like before.
"Wind Release: Pressure!"
To ensure accuracy, the shadow clone Nagato used a large-range Pressure technique, spitting high-pressure wind balls in the direction Might Guy was blown away.
Whoosh!!
The powerful storm enveloped the area where Might Guy was knocked back, even the ground cracked under the storm's ravage.
"What a troublesome opponent." Nagato let out a breath in his heart.
Fighting with a ninja like Might Guy, who could both take hits and attack, was truly a hassle. Even someone like Nagato with enormous chakra couldn't waste it mindlessly.
Every time he used Shadow Clone Jutsu, he had to consider if the shadow clone would be effective. If it wouldn't be effective, he wouldn't use it, thus conserving chakra.
After all, it was too easy for Might Guy to dispel the shadow clones. Instead of using shadow clones mindlessly, it was better to preserve chakra for the Almighty Push. The Almighty Push was powerful, but it also consumed a lot of chakra.
"It was actually misleading information, Guy wasn't disgraced in his loss." Seeing Nagato release Almighty Push after eight seconds, Kakashi was somewhat surprised.
Might Guy had thought he had seen through Nagato, but what he saw was what Nagato intentionally showed. Undoubtedly, in terms of battle awareness, Nagato won.
